swim class

So one of the classes I enrolled in for fall is a beginning swim class. I'm not sure how in shape I am with actual swimming because of all of the surfing I do, my friend Ron says "if you're not swimming, you're not surfing" (in regards to not wearing a leash and losing your board back to shore) but I didn't want to enroll in the intermediate classes and die.

Anyways, I thought the instructor was Marc Ruh, the Mt. Sac water polo coach. I checked back today and sure enough, it's Lani Ruh, my old high school coach (and Marc's wife). Gross. I've got a fat belly, I'll probably drown, and I'm sure she still remembers me quitting the varsity team a month into the season to ditch sixth period and hang out with Lindsay every day. Pretty awkward.

I'm going to stick with it though. The swim class is right before my math class. And in high school I had water polo right before first period math and that was the year I aced the class. I think chlorine and a good breakfast really makes a difference in one's ability to concentrate and retain information.

Woo-hoo! Here's hoping and praying that it works! I'm sure you'll do great. And it's been a while, so high school is so under the bridge. Did I just botch a cliche?

That should be fun, and good exercise! I hope it helps with your math as well :) Good luck with Lani...
